I would like to know the method of installing a friction wheel; (#935-04054) myself in a Craftsman snow thrower; (Model No. 247-883960) I want to do this myself and the manual indicates the need for special tools. I have done this before on several other snow blowers including a "Craftsman". The manual also indicates that this task should be done by a Sear's Parts and Repair center, but that is inconvenient and expensive. Thank you

The tires are probably tubeless type. If the bead is broken ( not sealed to the rim) the tire will not inflate. Taking the weight off the tire will some times allow the bead to seal against the rim and allow tire to be inflated. You can also put a small ratchet strap around the tread of the tire and tighten it up. This will squash the tire and make the bead seal up. MAKE SURE to loosen strap as soon as bead seals and tire begins to inflate. Hope this helps.
